Snow Day

Snow DayThis is what it looked like on the street today. It looks like it's going to be a white Christmas in T.O. this year. I think this is the most snow we've had in a single day since we've moved to Toronto in '99. Days like this have quiet and almost melancholic beauty. I found myself outside shoveling this afternoon and it was really pretty nice if you didn't have to go anywhere. Like the song says, "…since there's no place to go, let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow."

Once I had come in to warm up and dry off, I tuned into a NFL game, Buffalo at Cleveland and they were playing in the same storm. Amazingly, watching updates around the league you could see the storm's reach went from Toronto and Ottawa, to Cleveland to Pittsburgh and even Foxborough, Massachusetts. It was fun to watch some old school football being played where at times you couldn't see anything and the field was covered in white.
